This is a very tricky question you can tackle it by saying the knowledge you gained in your undergrad studies is limited and you started working to apply your theoretical knowledge and gain some practical knowledge, you wanted to learn more about the subject (Research in that area if you are going for a research based program) and expand your horizon.

Say your course name and what the course is actually about.

You can answer by saying that there are very limited Universities in India that offer that particular course and the Subjects that are taught in USA Universities are far more advanced and are almost up to date with the existing technologies and also the learning experience offered by US Schools is of very high value anywhere in the world.

Ask your sponsor how much savings they have and ask them to send the bank statements.

Its better to say that you are going to stay near the University and explore nearby places and stuff.

Prepare a good answer before hand if your parents have a business you can utilise it by saying you want to takeover their business and apply what you have learned during in your Master’s to the business.

You can also mention that you want to start a small scale industry and grow it and create more employment for your country’s people.
